Find and remove DOS line endings on Ubuntu

Question

I have found that many of my files have DOS line endings. In VI they look like this: \"^M\". I don\'t want to modify files that don\'t have these DOS line endings. How do

Answer 1

you can use the command:

   dos2ux file.in>file.out or:

in perl:

perl -pi -e 's/\r//g' your_file

alternatively you can do:

• open in vi
• go to command mode
• type :%s/[ctrl-V][CTRL-M]//g
